[Verse 1]

           
Now and then I

            
 think of when

           
 we were toget

    
her
            
Like when you 

             
said you felt 

           
so happy you c

                  
ould die
           
Told myself th

            
at you were ri

               
ght for me
           
But felt so lo

             
nely in your c

      
ompany
            
But that was l

             
ove and it's a

           
n ache I still

            
 remember

[Verse]

            
You can get ad

            
dicted to a ce

            
rtain kind of 

        
sadness
           
Like resignati

                 
on to the end
           
Always the end

           

   
           
So when we fou

              
nd that we cou

            
ld not make se

      
nse
           
Well you said 

              
that we would 

         
still be frien

ds
           
But I'll admit

             
 that I was gl

            
ad that it was

          
 over


[Chorus]

           
But you didn't

            
 have to cut m

  
e off
           
Make out like 

         
it never happe

ned
             
And that we we

      
re nothing
             
And I don't ev

           
en need your l

ove
            
But you treat 

           
me like a stra

nger
            
And that feels

     
 so rough

           
You didn't hav

            
e to stoop so 

 
low
           
Have your frie

              
nds collect yo

    
ur records
             
And then chang

        
e your number
             
I guess that I

            
 don't need th

     
at though
            
Now you're jus

             
t somebody tha

          
t I used to kn

ow

Reading into e
